I have this old Stuart Turner Torpedo Boat Destroyer that has a Stuart No.2 Torpedo Boat Engine. The plan above shows an electric motor, but the model is live steam and I wonder if this boat was ever able to sail on water. The Note on the plan describes the importance of making the centre of gravity as low as possible, and I find that impossible with a boiler and very heavy engine. Also, isn't this smallish spirit heated boiler far too small for a twin with 3/4" x 3/4" cylinders?
